> Otherwise anyone who receives a forwarded email can unsubscribe you! Right?

Yes, I have nightmares where I dream that someone else unsubscribes me from all those informative mailing lists that I NEVER OPTED IN TO.

Straw man much?

I subscribe to receive emails or newsletters. I forward them to someone. They unsubscribe me. I stop getting them. I wonder what happens and blame the site. They couldn't even inform me what happened.

Developers are supposed to make the correct security architecture for things. Letting anyone who gets your forwarded email take actions as you on the site without any further authentication, is not the right security model.
